£3.6m renovation of Norwich landmark set to begin next year
A new bar and cafe are also planned inside the Grade I listed Halls
More details have been revealed about a £3.6m plan to revamp an iconic Norwich building.
From next year The Halls, which is currently used as a concert venue, will see upgrades to its lighting and visual equipment, as well as renovations to improve accessibility.
A new bar and cafe are also planned inside the Grade I listed Saint Andrews & Blackfriars Hall complex.
Cash for the project has come from the bid for Town Deal funding launched by Norwich City Council in 2020.
The Halls will be closed from 1 January 2024 to allow for the renovation work to take place.
A spokesperson for Norwich City Council, said: “The Halls is a hugely important and unique heritage building that contributes so much to the fantastic cultural offer we have in Norwich."
"By carrying out these upgrades, we’re excited about the potential to create an iconic venue that will host community and cultural events for many years to come.
“We look forward to sharing our plans in more detail later in the year and will be keeping everyone that makes use of The Halls up to date as the project progresses. But if you do have any questions about the plans, please get in touch.”
